I'm thinking if this is possible, I can get a wireless keyboard/mouse and have a good gaming setup using my TV instead of my desk/monitor. I totally hope this is doable. If not, guess I could just consider going purely wireless anyways?
Not normally an issue to have multiple input devices set up (people often do anyway as drawing tablets, touch screens, etc count as additional ones).

Awesome! Guess I should definitely consider getting a decent wireless keyboard/mouse soon then. I figure with two simple fold out trays I can make this happen, although I wonder if using a keyboard this way could be uncomfortable after awhile (don't know if there'd be much wrist support/space). Worth a shot though? Then of course I can just use controllers for some stuff anyways (like Witcher 2 and most 3rd person games, still don't like them that much with keyboard/mouse setups for some reason). And for years I've used a PS2 controller for everything emulation related anyways.

As long as you're not trying to use both at the same time, yeah, windows doesn't care. Devices like the Nostromo and other specialty left hand desk FPS controllers are just keyboards that are strangely missing some keys as far as windows is concerned. Also think about when people plug a real mouse and keyboard into a laptop.

Wolfenstein 2009 is such a good game. I've been playing it through a second time. The story is campy as hell and the voice acting is painful sure, but...

It's not "rare," per se, but seeing as it came out on the N64 in 2001 I'm pretty sure it's not the most common game.

Just when I think I'm ready to pick up a copy of Street Fighter IV Arcade, I read that Capcom is going to release an updated version.

After waiting all this time, a couple more months won't bother me :lol:

Pretty sure Super Paper Mario is the Wii game.
